Hello Petr(e),  

I can see all six  numbers.  Of course the first picture is via 
IE-xplorer, nothing too much to see - I will disacard that one. The second picture shows the word 
"Tepenec" -it is basically white on blue (I used the negative for better discimination). But you have to look from the distance, it  is that big. The third picture is a positive - little bit better than the negative and I think you 
may have problems with  the colors on taht one - but it does look like "Jacobj"  and the sign between is as Rene says rather like delta ( lower case Freek letter with crossbar, meaning latin  "de"). To me it first looked like "3" - I mean the gothic letter "z", the Czech version of "de",  however the word is not "Tepence" ( as it should have been using Czech preposition, due to declination) , but "Tepenec". Rene's explanation covers that also  nicely. I will place the third picture on my side in black and white so you may see it - I hope it will show OK ( I will  let you know tomorrow), when it is done.

My rather old observation   is that "Jacobi" is genitive (possesive), not dative as it would be  if it was written as the dedication by Rudolph to H.. Many people now agree that Horczizcky might have identified the VM with his name himself, as an owner. The other option  is that some archiver or later owner marked it by the name of the past owner, as an indication.
What is even more obscureis that do not know why it was later erased. My explanation is that it was probably stolen, but why teh  erasure? Maybe to make  it apper older? 


Regards,

Jan
